Follow our journey as we run. The finish line: a half marathon. Some of us have already finished a full marathon, and some of us are proud just get a foot out on the pavement. It's not about being the best or the fastest, its just about us, our friends, and a pair of running shoes.

My favorite so far...


I grew up in California. Because the world is so full of beautiful places, I sometimes forget what we have here. Once in a while, Graem and I escape Sacramento to see the coast.  Last week, we explored Bodega Bay for the first time. Graem found me a  2 mile trail on Bodega Head that so was breathtaking, I didn't mind running around it almost 3 times. I was freezing and could have used a whole box of Kleenex by the end, but I was in total bliss. I loved the sounds of the birds, the fishing boats and even the sound of my feet shuffling along the dirt hills. The sights of fuzzy caterpillars, deer, seals, bunnies, and a whale kept me going for 5 miles.  Lastly, I saw Graem hiding from the wind, reading his book, ready for clam chowder. I don't think I could ever run on a treadmill again.
